Higher-order topological insulators

F Schindler, AM Cook, MG Vergniory, Z Wang… - Science …, 2018 - science.org
Three-dimensional topological (crystalline) insulators are materials with an insulating bulk
but conducting surface states that are topologically protected by time-reversal (or spatial) …

Higher-order bulk-boundary correspondence for topological crystalline phases

L Trifunovic, PW Brouwer - Physical Review X, 2019 - APS
We study the bulk-boundary correspondence for topological crystalline phases, where the
crystalline symmetry is an order-two (anti) symmetry, unitary or antiunitary. We obtain a …

Quantitative mappings between symmetry and topology in solids

Z Song, T Zhang, Z Fang, C Fang - Nature communications, 2018 - nature.com
The study of spatial symmetries was accomplished during the last century and had greatly
improved our understanding of the properties of solids. Nowadays, the symmetry data of any …

Twisted bulk-boundary correspondence of fragile topology

ZD Song, L Elcoro, BA Bernevig - Science, 2020 - science.org
A topological insulator reveals its nontrivial bulk through the presence of gapless edge
states: This is called the bulk-boundary correspondence. However, the recent discovery of …

Building crystalline topological phases from lower-dimensional states

SJ Huang, H Song, YP Huang, M Hermele - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
We study the classification of symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases with crystalline
symmetry (cSPT phases). Focusing on bosonic cSPT phases in two and three dimensions …

Topological zero-dimensional defect and flux states in three-dimensional insulators

F Schindler, SS Tsirkin, T Neupert… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
In insulating crystals, it was previously shown that defects with two fewer dimensions than
the bulk can bind topological electronic states. We here further extend the classification of …

New classes of topological crystalline insulators having surface rotation anomaly

C Fang, L Fu - Science advances, 2019 - science.org
We discover new types of quantum anomalies in two-dimensional systems with time-
reversal symmetry (T) and discrete rotation symmetry with order of n= 2, 4, and 6 (Cn). The …

Shift insulators: Rotation-protected two-dimensional topological crystalline insulators

S Liu, A Vishwanath, E Khalaf - Physical Review X, 2019 - APS
We study a two-dimensional tight-binding model of a topological crystalline insulator (TCI)
protected by rotation symmetry. The model is built by stacking two Chern insulators with …

Topological states from topological crystals

Z Song, SJ Huang, Y Qi, C Fang, M Hermele - Science advances, 2019 - science.org
We present a scheme to explicitly construct and classify general topological states jointly
protected by an onsite symmetry group and a spatial symmetry group. We show that all …

Chiral hinge magnons in second-order topological magnon insulators

A Mook, SA Díaz, J Klinovaja, D Loss - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
When interacting spins in condensed matter order ferromagnetically, their ground-state
wave function is topologically trivial. Nonetheless, in two dimensions, ferromagnets can …
